Chapter 103: Be ready tomorrow
Izaak and Magnus arrived back at the cottage in the late afternoon, their search in the forest yielding no clues about the missing person. Magnus settled onto the couch, crossing one leg over the other and resting his hands on his lap, while Izaak turned to Louis, requesting a glass of water.
"Is Alora asleep?" Magnus inquired of Griffin, who was already in the room.
"No, Princess Alora woke up an hour ago," Griffin replied in a complaining tone. "Louis offered her lunch, but she declined."
"Why?" Magnus asked as he moved his finger over his ring. "You cannot take care of a single task," he muttered.
"His Highness never asked me to feed food to his wife. That wasn’t my task," Griffin retorted.
Magnus glared at him and Griffin lowered his eyes immediately. "Princess Alora was upset because her husband left her in anger," Griffin said in a low voice.
Izaak smiled to hear them confronting. "I thought Magnus never fights with his Alora," he remarked with a sly smile. It was fun to tease Magnus.
"Princess Alora said she didn’t know red berries could be poisonous. She was on the verge of crying when I had to console her and tell her that Prince Magnus’s mood swings are rapid," Griffin murmured. But it was audible to both the Vampire Princes.
"Will two stay quiet?" Magnus pressed his fingers against his forehead, feeling irritated. Rising to his feet, he ordered Louis to send the lunch for Alora in the room.
Louis nodded his head and glanced at the female servant behind him.
Magnus went upstairs to the bedroom. To his surprise, the door was locked from the inside. He knocked on the door, waiting for Alora to open it. In a few seconds, Alora opened the door while keeping her gaze down.
